Thelma Brown nearly lost her sons and a nephew when a carbon capture pipeline ruptured in February, 2020, outside her hometown of Satartia, Mississippi. Her son, Debra’e Burns, was only a few hundred yards away from the blast, returning from a fishing trip with his brother and cousin. They called her, frantically warning her to take shelter. She describes the harrowing experience in this incredible remembrance of a night when more than 200 people were evacuated and at least 45 were hospitalized.
